    If you don’t know the internal code for a certain key, type
    CtrlK and then the function key. For example, this
    sequence followed by the up arrow key will output:

    <Up>
    

    You can learn more about this command in the documentation for both insert
    and command mode. The specific ways to map a special key are given in the
    documentation with the tag :map-special-keys. Additionally, you can find a
    handy table with :h key-notation.
